New Delhi, Jan 11: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has voiced his support for the LGBTQ+ community, stating that the community should also have their own private space and the Sangh will have to promote this view.
“People with such proclivities have always been there; for as long as humans have existed. This is biological, a mode of life. We want them to have their own private space and to feel that they, too, are a part of society. This is such a simple issue. We will have to promote this view because all other ways of resolving it will be futile,” said the RSS chief.
Bhagwat said the newfound aggression among Hindus around the world was due to an awakening in the society that has been at war for over 1,000 years. India was undivided from the earliest times of recorded history but has been divided each time the core sense of Hinduism was forgotten.
He also spoke about various other issues including Hindu invasions and Muslims living in India. He added that Hindustan should remain Hindustan, adding that Islam has no fear in the country.
“The simple truth is this, Hindusthan should remain Hindusthan. There is no harm to the Muslims living today in Bharat. Islam has nothing to fear. But at the same time, Muslims must abandon their boisterous rhetoric of supremacy,” he said.
On the engagement with political issues despite being a cultural organization, Bhagwat said that although the Sangh stayed away from day-to-day politics, it has been involved in politics that affect their national policies, national interests and Hindu interests.
Bhagwat also recalled that the Sangh was earlier seen with contempt, but those days were now over.
